A Teacher Called Nicodemus
(The Called Series)
In a day when most religious leaders were known for their efforts to discredit the ministry of Jesus, there came one who earnestly sought Him. In a day when most religious leaders mocked Jesus as He hung on a cross, there came one who meekly helped bury His body. And in a day when most religious leaders felt threatened by Jesus, there came one who courageously chose to take a stand for Him. This is the story of a teacher called Nicodemus who God used to teach what it means to seek God, not only in word, but also in deed. Just as his life was a testimony to the people of his day, it remains an example to us today.
There is an adage that says, “if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.” Nicodemus was a humble man who willingly stood boldly for truth. Explore his story through this novella – the portion you may already know, and the rest of the story that could have been.
